Established in 1798 by an Act of Congress signed by President John Adams, the U.S. Marine Band is America’s oldest continuously active professional music organization. The band made its White House debut on New Year’s Day, 1801, and has performed at the inauguration of every president since Thomas Jefferson, who is credited with giving the band the title “The President’s Own.”
From the earliest days of our nation, the Marine Band’s primary mission has been to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Performing for state arrival ceremonies, dinners, receptions and accompanying famous entertainers, Marine Band musicians appear at the White House more than 300 times each year. Additionally, the Marine Band participates in more than 500 public and official performances annually, including concerts and ceremonies throughout the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and across the country during the fall concert tour.
Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. on the night of the concert. Ticket holders must be seated by 7:15 p.m. Remaining vacant seats will be available to non-ticket holders at that time. The concert will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m. Patrons are advised to arrive early in anticipation of a capacity crowd.
